Oh Marilyn, I was so touched by this post. Such effort and beauty that went into making these quilts. I felt compelled to respond. From 1990 - 2000 I worked in the Boston Prudential Center tower, which stands 54 floors tall. One of my co-workers loved to quilt, and even had one of her quilts on display at an employee arts fair on the top floor of our building. Her name was Deb Medwig. She was on Flight 175, the 2nd to hit the towers. I like to remember her as she was - a wife, mother, talented quilter and respected manager, rather than how she perished. She would have loved those quilts in Denver. Thank you for sharing,Susan

About Me

After more years than I care to admit, I'm now a retired teacher. I'm a Colorado native, love to play the hand bells at church, will always choose reading over cleaning, and I dearly love my family. In the spring and summer I love to get out in my flower gardens and play in the dirt!
